The inquiry's apparent expansion to target Trumpreportedly focuses on whether the president attempted to obstruct the investigation - in particular, on Trump's reported attempts to encourage former FBI directorJames Comey to end an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. "Witch Hunt", he tweeted last Friday, referring to former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

The tweets were clear signs of the president's frustration and anger over the revelation, published on Wednesday evening in The Washington Post, about the investigation by Mueller, who is heading an independent probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Pence has seldom addressed the Russian Federation issue, which has overshadowed Trump'sWhite House agenda.

In another early morning tweet, Trump said that despite months of investigation no proof has been presented of any collusion he may have had with the Kremlin.

At a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing last week, Coats and Rogers refused to say whether Trump asked them to intervene in the investigation, which is also examining whether the Trump campaign team colluded with Russian Federation during last year's presidential campaign.

He has tweeted four timesFriday morning, also lashing out at the news media and insisting that economy is doing well "despite the phony Witch Hunt" he spent some of Thursday decrying on Twitter as well.

Rosenstein's statement appeared just hours after The Washington Post reported Mueller is looking into the business dealings of Jared Kushner, President Trump's adviser and son-in-law, based on unnamed American sources.

The White House confirmed that Mueller was among the candidates Trumpinterviewed to replace Comey.

Mr. Trump's latest tweets drew a concerned statement from Sen.

However, that would indicate either that Trump doesn't understand Rosenstein's role in the special counsel investigation, or that Rosenstein is more directly involved in the investigation, which would go against federal regulations.

Recent news reports have suggested Mr Trump sought all three officials' help in pressuring Mr Comey to drop his investigation into former national security adviser Mike Flynn. Americans should be skeptical about anonymous allegations.

Trump on Sunday also pointed to his 50 percent approval rating in a Rasmussen daily tracking poll, which has been an outlier since he took office.

There have been rumblings of a swap deal for Morata involving David De Gea , with cash likely needed from Madrid to even the pot. But, in an interview with Sunday morning programme Telefoot , Griezmann said: "The CAS sanction has come in".

He will not break the diplomatic ties Obama worked so carefully to restore, nor does he plan to impose new trade sanctions. US President Donald Trump will announce his administration's changes to U.S. -Cuba policy, according to the Miami Herald.

While a sitting president is unlikely to face criminal prosecution, obstruction of justice could form the basis for impeachment. Still, the snowballing investigation has deeply angered Trump , who denies he has any nefarious ties to Russian Federation .

During her visit - which lasted less than an hour - she also spoke to volunteers and community leaders at St Clement's Church. The inquest into the 2009 fire at Lakanal House in Camberwell, South London , in which six people died, took four years.

On Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence hired an outside lawyer to advise him and represent his legal interests. It wasn't immediately clear to whom Trump was referring to in his comment "the man who told me to fire" Comey.

Barth says he then sprinted toward the dugout where others had already gone to hide. "We held each other", said Williams. Lobbyist Matt Mika was shot multiple times and critically injured and remained hospitalized.

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley says Rosenstein should recuse himself because of his interactions with Mr. Rosenstein took over the Russian Federation probe soon after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself .
